Spinal stenosis, a term that describes the narrowing of the spinal canal, might start as a silent observer, causing no symptoms. Yet, as time unfolds, this narrowing can evolve into a squeezing sensation-think of it as a spinal hug gone awry. The compression may target the spinal nerves or even embrace the spine itself. Brace yourself for back pain and leg discomfort, especially when strolling. Picture this: a walk disrupted, legs staging a rebellion of weakness, making you feel like you're on shaky ground. It could be a solo act in one leg or a grand performance involving both. But wait, there's more. If the narrowing mischief extends to the cervical spine (that's the neck region), it might throw in some shoulder and arm pain and weakness for good measure. Fear not, for spinal stenosis has a script for intervention. The first act involves straightforward strategies-pain-relieving medicines, staying as sprightly as possible, and shedding excess weight if it hangs around. Sometimes, the plot thickens, and steroid injections or a dramatic surgical finale take center stage when the simpler tactics fall short. It's a spinal saga with twists and turns, but with the right moves, the show goes on!

This easy-to-consult guide describes new minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of spinal canal stenosis that are accompanied by fewer complications and side-effects, reduce the risks of anesthesia, and lower costs. Clear accounts are provided of various CT and X-ray guided techniques for lumbar spinal canal and foraminal stenosis, including the use of spacers and minimally invasive lumbar decompression (MILD). Helpful introductory information is also provided on biomechanics and symptoms. Like other books in the Springer series New Procedures in Spinal Interventional Neuroradiology, this practice-oriented volume will fill a significant gap in the literature and meet the need expressed by a large number of specialists (interventional neuroradiologists and radiologists, neurosurgeons, and orthopedists) for a topical and handy guide that specifically illustrates the presently available materials and methods.
